traceroute is really an example of 'packet expired, send
unreachable'... that, today is basically:
o grab 64bytes of header (or something similar)
o shove that in a payload
o use the src as the dst
o stick my src on
o set icmp
o crc and fire
there's not really any need to do this in the slow path, is there?
